Multi-stakeholder processes
• Multi-stakeholder approach needs to be invested in the landscape.• Habermas’ and Ostrom’s theories were used to establish partnership
and producer organization models.
Multi-stakeholder processes
• High transaction cost• May reduce your profit and land
• Short term cost• Long term benefit• Seems economically irrational • Investing landscape is not only
• Tree planting• Road infrastructure• Community development
Conclusion
• Landscape horizontal and vertical inequalities can induce conflicts.
• Commitment to multi-stakeholder approach is needed through actions.• It is not without cost• It is an investment for
sustaining landscape
